Yeah, that's an interesting observation. Never thought of that, but good to know.

I'm more interested in why you are trying to rid yourself of all (or most) beliefs in the first place.

I don't suppose I'm trying to rid myself of beliefs,
per se, but rather belief systems. Otherwise, as is most often the case around here, we'd probably need to agree on the definition of the term, "belief".
My definition of "belief" closely resembles a religious definition, which is probably why you're asking the question.
Otherwise, I guess the short answer is that I don't want to believe anything. I'd rather
know everything. I can know that I am. I can know What Is. And that's really all I can know.
That said, what's the benefit of believing anything?
